--- Comment #19 from varnent <[email protected]> --- Few quick notes. Ops has already asked AffCom to limit wiki recommendations outside of one level subdomain requests. This primarily has to do with SSL management. So they can forward domains to wherever, but the format should be XYZ.wikimedia.org and not XYZwikimedia.org or wx.yz.wikimedia.org as those are not supported by our SSL setup. US-NE is the acronym AffCom has currently assigned to the New England group. It's possible a user group could one day appear in Nebraska, or that it could be confused for Northeast. However, Northeast is within New England - so I think that's okay. It's true that Nebraska has that state abbreviation, but statewide level (vs regional) is not preferred right now anyway - so I'm not terribly concerned. We would like go with their three digit acronym at that point. So Nebraska would likely be US-Neb or US-NB (USCG) code. In any case, the format has been US-XY (see US-DC, US-NYC, and other proposed user groups such as US-MW and US-CAS) not XYUS - so I would recommend USXY.Wikimedia.org formatting. I personally think usne.wikimedia.org is fine as they are unlikely to have competition for the US-NE acronym for the foreseeable future (I recognize that is not an ideal statement - but it's what I've got to offer). However, I defer to group consensus on that. I do not think we will ever find a perfect solution, so I encourage the group to go with the best option on the table. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
